Since the Ten Virgins Waiting for the Bridegroom Are the Bride, the Bride in Revelation Is the Saints, Too?

[False Claim]

According to Christ Ahnsahnghong’s book, “The Bridegroom Was a Long Time in Coming, and They All Became Drowsy and Fell Asleep,” in the parable of ten virgins, the bridegroom indicates Jesus, and the ten virgins are the saints. Since the ten virgins indicate the “bride,” this proves that Christ Ahnsahnghong taught that the bride in the book of Revelation is the saints, too.

[Countermeasure]

1. The parable of ten virgins in Matthew 25

This is a foolish idea. How can a bridegroom marry ten brides at the same time? Is there such a wedding in the Bible? There is no wedding with one bridegroom and ten brides in the Bible or Jewish society where Jesus was from.Therefore, the ten virgins cannot be the bride.

The ten virgins who are waiting for the bridegroom are merely bridesmaids.
This is common sense among Christians. How can they deny Heavenly Mother without having some common knowledge in the Bible?

2. Reference books

From the annotations of many other churches, we can commonly see that the ten virgins do not indicate the bride.

R. C. H. Lenski, “The Interpretation of St. Matthew’s Gospel 15-28, Vol. 2,” Augsburg Publishing HouseThis explains the action of the ten virgins who took their lamps and went forth to meet the bridegroom. These were friends of the bride who went out from their homes with the necessary lamps, not to the bride’s home, but to a place that was conveniently near.

Kang Byung-do, “Hokma Commentary”Here, the virgins [parthenos] are not the bride but bridesmaids who are invited to a wedding. The reason they went out to meet the bridegroom was that they were to usher the bridegroom and his best men.

Comments

The virgins could not possibly be the bride because the virgins were waiting to enter the wedding banquet which, through Jesus’ words, represents the kingdom of heaven (Mat 22). The bride could not be excluded from the wedding banquet because without a bride there can be no wedding. Therefore, the virgins in Mat 25 cannot be the bride in Rev 19. The virgins are the invited in Rev 19.

Amen, Rev. 19: 9 [ Then the angel said to me, “Write: ‘Blessed are those who are invited to the wedding supper of the Lamb!’ ” ] If the bride indicates “saints”, who on earth are the guests invited to the wedding and blessed then ?
The bride is a protagonist of the wedding, which means the bride is not the one who is invited [guests] but the one who invites guests[saints] . So, The thing is, the “guests” who are invited to the wedding [Kingdom of heaven] are “saints”.
Therefore, “Ten virgins” indicate the invited “guests” [saints] and the “bride” indicates “God the mother” who gives ppl the water of life.
In these last days, the spirit [God the father] and the bride[God the mother] together are inviting guests as written in the bible ; The Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” [Rev 22:17]

Yes friends of the Bride, just as we should becomes friends with God, we too must be the bridesmaids, not the bride herself. Every parable has different meaning, Jesus call himself the lamb and calls the saints lambs, God is reffered to as a shepard and so are we.

The bible constantly tells us we are the brides maid and we are the invited, but in those parables we are never the bride. Then who is the bride?
Rev 21:9 come I will show you the bride…. he showed me the new jerusalem coming down out of heaven from God”

I think they are insane. That’s because they are just to eager and don’t count on what they are claiming about. They just have to claim something to defeat the undeniable truth. 😛 Truth will win… No matter what they claim.

Amen! That’s why the Dragon(Satan) was enraged at the Woman which is Truly and Perfectly Our Heavenly Mother because She is the Perfect Truth Shining Brightly even they try hard to cover the world with darkness..
They just prove that their brain is smaller than a dust. Cannot even find thru the Naked eye..
And We are Very Blessed because we have the wisdom of Salvation.. Animo Brothers and Sisters of the whole world!!

They are only trying to deny God the Mother!
Think! The Bride in Rev. 22:17 gives the free gift of the water of life along with the Spirit God the Father!
That is, the Bride gives us eternal life!
They are insisting that they can give us “eternal life”! Do U think SO?
Then, they need not believe in God!

The virgins fell asleep because the bridegroom was taking a long time to come. If the virgins are the bride how can they be waiting for the bridegroom, the bride comes last and the bridegroom waits for her

The purpose of their faith only disturb our gospel and teasing the saints to fall from the faith.
We will not be deceived their false claims.
God the Mother exists in the bible and be with us in this earth.

There have been ten virgins in Matthew 25:1-12 but there is only one the Bride in Revelation 22:17 of the bible.
The Bride is our Heavenly Mother(God the Mother) as the source of living water(Zechariah 14:8) who gives us eternal life in this age of the Holy Spirit.

Revelation 22:17 The Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” And let him who hears say, “Come!” Whoever is thirsty, let him come; and whoever wishes, let him take the free gift of the water of life.
18 I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds anything to them, God will add to him the plagues described in this book.
19 And if anyone takes words away from this book of prophecy, God will take away from him his share in the tree of life and in the holy city, which are described in this book.

Who is the Bride as a Savior next to the Spirit ??? we should not add to or subtract from the bible prophecies!

Revelation 21: 9 One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls full of the seven last plagues came and said to me, “Come, I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb.”
10 And he carried me away in the Spirit to a mountain great and high, and showed me the Holy City, Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God.

Gal 4:26 But the Jerusalem that is above is free, and she is our mother.

The bible says that our God the Mother(Heavenly Jerusalem) is the Bride who gives us eternal life as our Savior in this last age.
i give thanks to Christ Ahnsahnghong (Heavenly Father) and Heavenly Mother for Their saving grace.

I come to know exactly about this.
That is very simple and easy to understand!!
Bridegroom who represent Jesus cannot marry with 10 virgins in the same time.
So 10virgins cannot become the bride in revelation.
Not only because of this reason but also because bride in revelations give water of life(eternal life) therefore saints cannot become bride!!
Bride is God the mother!!

In the book of Mt 25, The ten virsins are saints
But, the saints are not represented as a bride of the bridegroom in the book of 19,21,22
Just ppl know the bride in the bible must be the saints
But, they din’t know The bride could be explained as a God the mother in some point
The bride must be a God the Mother in the book of Revelation who was testified by Christ ahnsahnghong

According to the book of Revelation, the bride is coming from heaven
to give us the salvation. If the bride represents saints who are God’s people,
then can man save man each other? This is such a ridiculous insistence.

What a foolish insistence!
If the Bride is saints, U need not believe in God for receiving eternal life!
By the Bible, the Bride is to give us the free gift of the water of life along with the Holy Spirit.
Their insistence is definitely opposite to God’s prophecy!!!

If the Bride is the saints, then can saints give salvationt to saints? It is NOT possible at all.
Man can do everything except saving someone. Only God can give us the salvation.
The Bible clearly testifies that the Bride is the wife of the Lamb who is Christ – our Father and She will appear in flesh in this last age to give us the salvation.
Their argument is not worth discussing at all because they are not based on the Bible and the truths.

Even other church’s acknowledge that the 10 virgins are just friend of the bride, in other words bridesmaids. But slanders just need to say something just to bother and try to hinder the gospel but they fell to understand that there not fighting against us but against God ! (Act 5:38-39 )

If the Bride is the saints in Revelation, who are “those who are invited” in Revelation 19:9?
“Those who are invited” are the saints, and the Bride is God the Mother, who give the saints the water of life along with God the Father.

Only God has the authority to give us the water of life or eternal life.
The Bride cannot be the saints because sinners cannot give the water of life to other sinners.
The Bible needs to be interpreted in the context.
The Bride in Revelation is the Heavenly Jerusalem who is our Mother (Galatians 4:26).
The Bible also clearly testifies to the existence of God the Mother from the book “Genesis.”
Elohim God created man in the image of God: Male and Female God created.
Elohim is the plural form and it means “Gods.”
In this age, without receiving God the Mother as well as God the Father, we cannot receive the water of life.

Slanderers try to oppose the truth of God the Mother with non-Biblical claims.
The Bible clearly testifies to the existence of God the Mother.
In the last days, the Spirit [God the Father] and the Bride [God the Mother] give us the water of life.
The Bride is God the Mother and the saints are those who are invited to the wedding banquet (Rev 19:9.)

In the book Revelation, “those who are invited to the wedding banquet” (Rev 19:9) also appear apart from the Bride? Who are “those who are invited” in Revelation? They are the saints who will be saved. The Bride is the Heavenly Jerusalem, who is God the Mother.

If the saints are the “Bride”, they need not believe in God Almighty, who gives us eternal life!
However, none of us can live forever apart from God Almighty!
We are those who have to receive eternal life thru God Almighty!

Through the bible we can recognize the bride includes two meaning. One is the saints and the other is God the mother. As we read those chapters, we can understand the different meaning in the text. Always the bride in the bible does NOT show the saints! That bride in Revelation represents God the Mother!
